Basic sharepoint-outlook question

Question

Sorry folks if this is obvious, but we've just started using sharepoint at work...
I've accidentaly linked a massive network folder (via outlook) to sharepoint and now want to disconnect it - at the bottom of my outlook folders I have sharepoint lists and if I right click the folder I want to disconnect I have a Delete Folder option -
my question is: if I do this does this get rid of the local copy stored on my PC only? (I definately don't want to delete the folder off the shared network drive!!).
Cheers,
Rob.

Hi !
Deleting the SharePoint List folder from Outlook will not delete it from SharePoint. Go ahead and remove it. To make sure the SharePoint folder does
not sync again, follow the below steps after you have removed the SharePoint List folder:
1. Launch Outlook.                                  
2. Go to Tools > Account Settings > SharePoint Lists tab.
3. Double click the SharePoint List that you want to delete from Outlook.
4. Check the box that says "Don't display this list on other computers I use" and select OK. This takes you back to the SharePoint
Lists tab - click the list you wish to remove to highlight the list.
6. Click the Remove Button above the list.
7. Click Close.
8. Close Outlook and open again.
